When downloading, BitComet provides the option to prioritize the first and last portions of media files so that files may be previewed before they are completely downloaded. Along with the features typical of contemporary BitTorrent clients, it supports UPnP gateway configuration, bandwidth scheduling, Webseeding, selecting only certain files for download inside a torrent package, NAT traversal ( removed in v.1.03), Peer Exchange ( in older versions, using a proprietary protocol and starting with v.1.19 also by using the Extension Protocol, implementing a PEX mechanism compatible with μTorrent / Mainline PEX), Initial-Seeding ( Super-Seeding) and support for Magnet Links. To complete a particular download, it can draw parts of files from many sources across different P2P and client–server protocols.īitComet's main features include an embedded Internet Explorer window to let users search for torrents. Overall, we think BitComet is worth trying and could become a major torrent app in the future.The BitComet program is a multi-threaded multi-protocol hybrid download manager and BitTorrent peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing application. While the app held its own against better-known competitors in terms of speed and handling multiple torrents, we found the ubiquitous advertisements to be annoying compared to the competition's ad-free environs. Among the usual features, BitComet offers chat capabilities, the ability to bookmark your favorite sites, a toolbar for Internet Explorer 7, and a context menu for Firefox 2. The pane on the right rounds out the layout, with a torrent search feature and advertising.

The top of the app has big buttons with familiar icons, the center window shows the files being downloaded, and the bottom pane has tracker and peer info. There's a familiar tree of features on the left, including links to torrent-aggregating Web sites and several promotional offers. Taking a slightly different approach to solving the multimedia lover's dilemma of how best to download torrents is BitComet, which uses an interface heavily cribbed from Windows Explorer-with a dose or two from the basic BitTorrent template-to create something instantly recognizable to the user.
